This was delicious. I ended up using oats instead of bread crumbs because I was out. I also added shredded mushroom and onion. I did add more goat cheese, but next time I think I'll up it. And I definately plan to try it with feta. Thanks for such a yummy recipe!

This recipe was great! I made the burgers with basil and tomato feta cheese. I used fresh spinach and sauteed it in a pan w/a little olive oil, garlic, and onion chips before adding it to the turkey and feta mixture. The family loved them!! I'll make variations of this again, maybe meatballs next time. Thanks for a quick, easy and tasty recipe.

Very yummy. I followed the recipe exactly except for the addition of a little salt and pepper. Next time, I will definitely add more cheese and check out some of the tips from the other reviewers. I broiled instead of BBQ'd and had no trouble with the burgers falling apart, Perhaps the other reviewers didn't squeeze the water out of the spinach enough.

Very good burgers! I did make a few small changes. I added fresh minced garlic, bread crunmbs, a dash of basil, some montreal steak seasoning, and fresh pepper. I also used a lot more of the goat cheese than is called for as we love it. I have tried these on the grill and in the broiler and they were better in the broiler by far! Thanks for a tasty alternative to every day burgers! Delicious!

I made these tonight, and my boyfriend said he never wants to eat beef burgers again. I followed other recommendations and added a few things -- a splash of worchestire, an egg, 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs, and i also added some montreal steak seasoning. I served them with simple oven fries from this site -- it was a huge hit!

absolutely delicious. added 1 egg, 1 tsp garlic powder, pepper, some fried onion, 1/4 cup of bread crumbs. The burgers were easy to form, and didn't crumble. Served on a bun with tzatziki sauce.

We thought it was ok but not great - definitely needs some more flavor and while we did try to grill it was a bit of a disaster as they wouldn't stay together - ended up finishing them inthe broiler as we had a very hungry kid (and parents) who couldn't wait any more - maybe will try again

I made these last night and they were very good! MMM! I only gave it 4 stars because mine did not hold together and I even added an egg and a little bit of seasoned bread crumbs. Even so, they were fabulous. With one patty I attempted to barbecue, but it def. did not hold together to even flip.. so I pan fried the rest and they were great!! I will def. make again and probably add more goat cheese since it's sooo good!

I made this exactly as directed, and although is was very good (and unique!), it lacked in a lot of flavor (compared to beef burgers).. as ground turkey seems to be notorious for. Next time, I will definitely add some grated onions, cayenne pepper, salt, and maybe a splash of Worchestershire sauce. I enjoyed the moist texture of these burgers! I ate it without the bun, and mdae sweet potoato oven-baked fries to go along with it. If I would have had time, I would've topped with grilled onions, no doubt. I had no trouble forming these into nice, thick patties, and I placed on a lightly greased baking pan, lined with foil. I put them in the oven, at 450 F for 10 minutes, and then "broiled", at 500 F.. and they were perfect. Thank you for the recipe!

These were really yummy! I used Chavrie with basil and garlic. The amount of cheese called for in the recipe was just right - I tried it a second time with more and it was too strong. These are great cooked on the grill.

Have wanted to try this one for a long time now. Excellent results. Used extra lean turkey and extra goat cheese. Chose a cheese flavored with thyme and red pepper (already crumbled). Added one egg and about 1/3 to 1/2 a cup of seasoned bread crumbs as per other reviews. Also added some dried basil and garlic powder. To half the mixture I added the spinach but the BF isn't a fan so I made his with a little chipotle tabasco sauce in the mix and sprinkled the outside with seasoning salt (which he loves). He ate his plain on a grilled kaiser roll and loved it. I ate mine with a little chipotle mayo (not necessary) and carmelized onions...no bun. I loved mine as well. The fat content in the meat was so low we didn't need to wash the fat tray from our George Forman (we don't have a grill). Outstanding!

Very very good burgers. Next time I will cut back on the spinach and add a tablespoon more goat cheese (I prefer cheese). The cheese is easier to crumble if it's been in the fridge for a while. Also, make sure the cheese is evenly distributed...they taste better that way.

I loved the bulky texture of the turkey burgers with additives. I substitued the goat cheese for Feta which I had on hand which was excellent. Remember to wring out the frozen spinach thoroughly! They are fabulous and I make them all of the time now, instead of plain.

My husband is not fond of ground turkey or "fake beef" as he likes to call it. He absolutely loved this burger and didn't even need to add any condiments. I made it with a Mediterranean cheese blend (feta, provolone, parmasan)and served it on an onion bun. It was very tastey!

These were very good - but I agree with some other reviewers that the recipe needs an egg and some breadcrumbs for the burgers to stick together. I also doubled the goat cheese and used herbed goat cheese versus the plain kind. I served the burgers with a nice greek salad and my guests were VERY impressed! I'm also going to try this recipe using ground lamb meat.

I was pleasantly surprised by this simple yet tasty recipe. I did not want a meatloaf burger and this combination of ingredients was hearty and flavorful without being too overwhelming to the meat--the burger flavor definitely came through. I roughly doubled the amount of cheese and used an Israeli feta, which is creamier and a bit milder than traditional greek feta. I added some carmelized red onions to the top and no other condiment was needed, although my husband requested sauteed mushrooms next time. They stayed together well for broiling and the amount of time suggested was just right.
